Compulsory Automobile Insurance

For his presidential address to the Casualty Actuarial Society at its meeting in May, 1926, President Michelbacher chose as his subject "Some Insurance Problems Incidental to Compulsory Automobile Insurance." This address was delivered before any of the problems had been faced and naturally enough he took a pessimistic view of the future. The Massachusetts law is now in effect and this paper has been written with the thought in mind that our members should know the work that has been accomplished. The paper is not technical but has been written to outline the requirements under the law, the work already done to meet these requirements and the preparations being made for the future.
